Problems solved by technology

A disadvantage of the known connecting means is that they are awkward to handle.
All in all this is a relatively difficult task because so many components must be held simultaneously.
However, there is still the dang

Embodiment Construction

FIG. 1 diagrammatically shows a means 1 placed somewhere along a compressed air line, not illustrated in detail, for handling or treating the compressed air. The means could also be termed a servicing means or a conditioning means for compressed air. It is a question of a modularly designed component assembly through which in operation fluid flows, and which for instance comprises three working units 2, 2' and 2" only illustrated diagrammatically, in the case of which it is a question of a filter unit 2, a pressure setting unit 2' and an oiler unit 2".

The individual working units 2, 2'and 2" respectively possess a cubic or block-like main or housing part 3, which is in the following will be simply termed a "part". On the respective part 3, as for example on its bottom side, a functional unit 4 can be arranged, which for the sake of simplicity is only diagrammatically shown.

Each part 3 has an internal fluid duct 6, which opens at opposite terminal faces of the respective part 3. Any ...

Abstract

A connecting means for two parts in a fluid conducting assembly. The connecting means comprises coupling means located on joint sides opposite to one another on the parts, such means rendering possible a displaceable attachment together of the parts with an interlocking effect in the assembly direction. Furthermore connecting members are provided to act on opposite sides of the parts, of which at least one connecting member, is able to be locked using holding and securing means on the pushed together parts in order to set the relative position of same. Simultaneously the setting in place of a clamping means acting on the connecting members is facilitated. The connecting means renders possible a simple, secure and rapid coupling of the parts.

Description

The invention relates to a connecting means for two parts in a fluid conducting assembly and more especially in a modularly designed means for handling compressed air, comprising holding portions located on sides opposite to one another athwart the direction of mounting of the parts, said holding portions being associated with each other in pairs when said parts are put together, and furthermore connecting members adapted to be mounted on the pairs of associated holding portions in a connecting position, said connecting members being able to be clamped by a clamping means in a clamping direction, which is athwart the said direction of mounting, against the respectively associated pairs of holding portions in order to cause the parts to be clamped together at facing joint faces thereof.THE PRIOR ARTA connecting means of this type is for example described in the European patent publication 0 261 711 A2.Same is employed to releasably join together in pairs the housing bodies of a plura...
